9/2

Smart chaser. C&D winner. 11¼ lengths third of 5 to Captain Guinness in Fortria Chase (4/5) at Navan (16f, heavy) on reappearance 39 days ago, considerately handled. Should come on for the outing.

High-class chaser, including a C&D Grade 1 win at the Dublin Racing Festival in February. 10 lengths fourth of 5 to Energumene in William Hill Champion Chase (13/2) at Punchestown (16f, good to soft) final start. Player if fully primed for reappearance but Mark Walsh seemingly prefers Dinoblue.

9/4

Forecasts

Captain Guinness (6/4), Dinoblue (9/4), Dysart Dynamo (9/2), Gentleman De Mee (11/2), Saint Roi (16/1)

CAPTAIN GUINNESS looked every bit as good as ever when seeing off a couple of these in the Fortria at Naas last month and can provide the Henry de Bromhead yard with a third win in this in the last 5 years. Dinoblue is the mount of Mark Walsh from the J P McManus trio and might provide the chief threat ahead of Gentleman de Mee.
